I've read claims that Yordan was almost functionally illiterate. This view of his career makes him out to be similar to Jerry Wald, who got some credits on WB scripts in the late '30s but allegedly employed ghostwriters. Wald was the inspiration for the character of fast-talking wheeler-dealer Sammy Glick (who becomes successful as a writer by pulling the ghostwriter trick) in Budd Schulberg's novel What Makes Sammy Run?
